You are probably not in single user at this time, if it is only X which is not 
working...

My guess is you have modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually. I'd login on the 
console with my usual account, then 

$ pfexec mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.HIDE 
$ pfexec svcadm clear gdm 

(the latter should be not necessary actually). 

X should start with no xorg.conf. If you want to have it in order to modify it, 
run:

$ pfexec X -configure

then examine/edit the newly create xorg.conf.new file in your home directory, 
try starting X with it and when you are happy with it, put it in place.
